NAS Whiting Field Cyclists: Sat 20 Sep Ride

For starters, I'm going to be joining the Truly Spokin' group this Saturday.  Look for the slightly big (for a cyclist) guy w/ a Fuji bike and DT wheels.

My problem with the TS group so far is that I'm between their fast guys and the medium group.  The fast group will drop people and not wait for them until they get to a convenience store 10mi down the road.  What I'd like to do is to establish at the outset if a ride is drop/no-drop/hammer/etc.  For most rides, I'd like to have a somewhat conversational pace and if someone wants to hammer up a hill, then they can wait for the rest at the top.
